Senior Back End Developer – DeFi
NOTE: VISA SPONSORSHIP IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THIS POSITION.
The Role
As a Backend Developer, you’ll take the lead on building and maintaining the backend systems that power both the protocol and its user-facing applications. This is a backend-focused role, though you’ll collaborate closely with smart contract, frontend, and product teams to build robust, performant infrastructure.
About the Company
This innovative DeFi project was founded to challenge the status quo of stablecoins and tokenomics. In an ecosystem where centralized stablecoin issuers generate vast revenue without redistributing it, and many token economies work in favour of insiders, this protocol takes a different approach. Its mission is to build a system where users are not just participants, but true beneficiaries and stakeholders.
The protocol introduces a new model for value-sharing in DeFi. At its core is a stablecoin backed by tokenized U.S. Treasuries, alongside a yield-generating version and a governance token that directly shares revenue with its holders. Together, these components form a new, more equitable financial framework designed to return value to the community that supports it.
Despite being a relatively young project, the team has already shipped a fully functional protocol and ecosystem, demonstrating fast-paced execution and significant traction. Within months of launching, the platform achieved $1.8 billion in total value locked (TVL), later stabilizing around $800 million as the team introduced key product and governance upgrades.
The team itself is small, agile, and deeply embedded in the world of decentralized finance. They move quickly, take ownership of their work, and are committed to reshaping how value flows across crypto networks.
